Using competition to promote research, using research to promote production, and pooling wisdom to tackle key problems, the 26th China Robot and Artificial Intelligence Competition Humanoid Robot Innovation Challenge was held today in Wujiang, Suzhou.
As the first large-scale humanoid robot competition in China, this competition attracted nearly a thousand students to sign up for the selection, and more than 30 elite teams from universities such as Peking University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Soochow University stood out. This competition reproduced the technical difficulties in scenarios such as smart home, smart health care, and special services, and set up five major scenario tasks such as turning valves, passing gravel roads, pressing buttons, opening doors, and indoor task planning, achieving a number of innovative breakthroughs: the first time to enter real home services from simulated scenarios, the first time to achieve fully autonomous intelligent operation competitions, and the first time to introduce generative large model task planning assessments.
Wujiang has outstanding location advantages and a developed private economy. It is currently making every effort to seize the national strategic opportunity of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and accelerate the cultivation of emerging industries and future industries represented by artificial intelligence. Chen Qi, deputy district head of Wujiang District, said in his speech that he hopes to use this competition as an opportunity to further focus on young talents, strive to build a more powerful, concentrated and warmer innovation and entrepreneurship ecology, and make every effort to build the most desirable city for innovation and entrepreneurship among young people across the country.
Gu Wanyong, deputy director of Suzhou Science and Technology Bureau, said that as a core city in the Yangtze River Delta, Suzhou ranks fifth in the world in the global science and technology cluster ranking released by the World Intellectual Property Organization. In the field of robotics, an industrial system covering upstream, midstream and downstream has been formed. In the future, Suzhou will continue to optimize the environment for scientific and technological innovation and build a benchmark city for artificial intelligence and robotics industries.
In October last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pointed out in the "Guiding Opinions on the Innovation and Development of Humanoid Robots" that humanoid robots are expected to become disruptive products after computers, smart phones, and new energy vehicles, and will profoundly change human production and lifestyle. In January this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other seven departments issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Innovation and Development of Future Industries", which put humanoid robots at the top of the list of innovative iconic products.
Humanoid robots have long been hailed as the shining pearls in the field of intelligent robots. Their high degree of simulation of the complexity of human form and functions makes their technology extremely difficult. In the past year, the technological progress of AI big models has endowed humanoid robots with stronger understanding and interaction capabilities, leading embodied intelligence into a new development. The introduction of multimodal big models has made humanoid robots not only human-like in form, able to walk and operate, but also equipped with a smart "brain" that can continuously iterate itself during learning. It has shown huge development space in application space and industrial prospects, and is even expected to adapt to diversified application scenarios in the future.
Ke Zhendong, vice president of Leju (Suzhou) Robotics Technology Co., Ltd., said, "In the next five years, as the industry is updated and iterated, humanoid robots are expected to be mass-produced, and the price will drop from the current 600,000 yuan to less than 100,000 yuan, providing daily services such as smart home and smart health care."
